SRK avoids the ‘intolerance’

Noida, Jan 29 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose views on “extreme intolerance” in the country had led to a controversy last year, avoided queries about the subject at an event here on Friday.

The actor was here to make a formal announcement regarding edutainment theme park KidZania here when he was asked whether he feels that his ‘intolerance’ remark made people conscious in the society.

Shah Rukh responded: “I feel there is a specific platform for everything. Here we are talking about kids, so it would be good to talk about this on a platform where it is being discussed.”

Earlier, the “Happy New Year” star had said: “I do think there is intolerance. There is extreme intolerance.”

His views were then criticised by many politicians and the film fraternity.
